The antidote to materialism isn't minimalism; it's maintenance. Keep things. Fix them. Mend them. Grow old with possessions you know well because you've cared for them.

@SordidAmok I love this.

As I listen to a tube amplifier made in 1958, that I restored and repaired, driven by a preamp made in 1980 that I repaired from absolute shambles, through speakers I found on the side of the road and restored.

@trisweb @SordidAmok My amplifier was given to me by my father-in-law after he used it for probably 25 years. My stereo speakers were bought by my dad in the early 70s from an estate sale, so now idea how old they are. I grew up listening to these speakers and they're still going strong.

@vandenberglegs @trisweb They don't make 'em like they used to. That's not an accident. They deliberately don't make 'em like they used to.
